Chapter 318: This one is stable(1/2)
Male Mahon is a genuine Orange County native in Los Angeles.
20 years ago.
He is just a dishwashing in a restaurant. But with his outstanding eyes and an amazing keen intuition about business.
In just 20 years.
It was a service worker who came from Europe and could only start from the lowest-end dish washing to a billionaire in America now.
He runs a real estate company.
Mainly operates a variety of premium apartments and small housing in Santa Ana, the capital of Orange County.
In the past decade, Santa Ana City has attracted the arrival of middle-class families, especially the large number of new immigrants from Asia.
The apartments he operated were not expensive but not cheap, which benefited Mahon a lot! He started as a new immigrant who could only wash dishes in a restaurant, and started as a real estate agency, and has been one of the most successful real estate merchants in the entire Santa Ana city!
Over the years, his company's apartments have been very popular with middle-class families.
However, since the new president came to power, his attitude towards new immigrants has become increasingly bad. Seeing that the unreliable, which Male Mahon hates, is likely to make fewer and fewer new immigrants.
Male Mahon had to consider the future of the company by making fewer and fewer middle-class families willing to buy his house.
In fact, it is also considering his own future business.
He wants to leave some way out for his future business. If the real estate business in Santa Ana is not easy to do, he must find other ways to make money.
And one of the new ways of making money he considered.
This is the election for Orange County Councillors this year!
As one of the candidates for the campaign, Male Mahon feels that he is definitely the one who is most qualified to become a county council member!
First of all, he felt that he was a local. Although he was a new immigrant from Europe, he had lived in Orange County and Santa Ana for 20 years and had long been a local.
Secondly, he is very rich! The largest apartment in Santa Ana is built by his company! Maybe it is impossible to compare with those on the Forbes rankings, but compared with those ordinary millionaires and millionaires, his assets are something they dare not expect!
This year, a county councillor in Orange County suffered a physical condition and unfortunately died on his post.
The county councillors in Orange County have appeared.
A new public servant who serves the people must be added.
Male Mahon, who was originally going to participate in the next election, felt that this was a chance God gave him. If he let it go, God would come and punish him!
He decided to participate in this election.
At the beginning.
Everything went very smoothly.
There were only eight candidates when the report came.
Male Mahon spent some money to ask some newspapers and private detectives to find out various information about the remaining seven candidates.
Including whether there is any handle left or not.
After the investigation is over.
Male Mahon feels stable!
Because the remaining seven candidates except him almost each have their own problems.
He regards two biggest opponents, two candidates from the local elephant party and the donkey party. One of them had a lawsuit 11 years ago for a crime of despicableness. If this is a blow, the other party can easily fail. The other party is not much better. The private detective hired by Male Mahon even filmed videos of the other party cheating!
These two most powerful opponents have passed!
The remaining five opponents, four of them are local small parties, are basically better than nothing when they participate.
The only threats were Jackson Nippie, the black lawyer who was also a local.
This guy has good connections locally and has a very good public opinion image in the local media! He often does things to sue for middle-class families for free, and has reaped a wave of reputation from the most important voters.
But it's fine.
The guy who Male Mahon thinks is the most threatening is a pauper... Of course, it is the pauper in the eyes of Male Mahon.
No matter how poor a lawyer is, since he can become a lawyer, his annual income of about 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars can still be guaranteed. Even if he is the world's number one country, he is still a middle class above the standard.
Not really poor.
But Male Mahon, who has a billionaire, does not take this black lawyer seriously at all. He has at least 100 ways, whether it is to defeat this black lawyer from the front or secretly, and win this election.
It was originally planned that all went smoothly.
But when the official election was about to begin, something unexpected happened.
A total of eight candidates were added at the last minute.
Male Mahon, who doesn't want to have trouble, certainly does not allow this kind of thing to happen! He immediately filed a complaint with the California Supreme Court, saying that the local county government temporarily added candidates was illegal!
New candidates are absolutely illegal!
pity……
His complaint was dismissed by the court.
The court ruled that the ninth candidate was valid, and the federal constitution stipulated that every citizen of the federal government had the right to vote.
Male Mahon was surprised.
He has friends in the California Supreme Court. Under normal circumstances, if it is his complaint.
That friend will definitely help him.
As a result, when he failed to appeal, he came to the friend, but the friend told him: Don’t participate in the election, you can’t win this time.
Of course, Male Mahon was not happy.
He is a businessman.
For this election, the connections and favors he devoted to was not mentioned. The money alone had exceeded 1 million US dollars. It is true that he had money, but it has not yet reached the point where he regarded 1 million US dollars as nothing.
After all, as a billionaire, most of his workplaces are actually those houses, and his real working capital is only about 10 million US dollars.
Under his every request.
That friend from the California Supreme Court told him that the ninth candidate's surname was Adams...
Adams?!
What's so great about Adams?!
In the entire Federation, Adams did not have 1 million, and at least 500,000! It was not Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Bush!
Why can't he win by Male Mahon!
Afterwards, the angry Mahome spent another sum of money and through some channels, he finally learned that this "Adams" is not an ordinary Adams.
He was stunned.
Although he felt sorry for money, as a vested stakeholder, he knew that if he really met that Adams, he had no chance of winning. In order to avoid continuing to lose money, Male Mahon was ready to stop the loss in time and stop the campaign that caused him to lose a lot of money.
But at this moment.
Someone came to the door and offered to help him win this election. The premise was to work with them and become a part of them, and by the way, the "Adams" campaign failed.
After the visitor revealed some of the other party's identities.
Male Mahon, who was unwilling to admit his failure like this, quickly chose to cooperate with the other party.
Tonight.
After a whole day of busy work, Male Mahon returned to his villa in Santa Ana.
Sitting in front of the computer.
Opened the website he has followed every day recently.
This is the official website of the county government in Orange County, Los Angeles. This time, the county councillor campaign was launched. The website specially created a page for Orange County voters to understand the various conditions of the nine candidates more intuitively.
in.
Political contributions are put first.
After all, on the surface, the amount of political donations has been promoted by the federal government as the amount of support it received.
According to previous laws.
Only a politician with many supporters can his political contributions be as many as his supporters!!
"Hmph...so what about Adams?!"
"I have allies! I have money!"
“My political donation is more than twice yours…”
Male Mahon first opened his page and satisfactorily saw that his political donation changed from 3.21 million US dollars to 3.45 million US dollars!
This represents the effectiveness of a political donation fundraising he held today in Anaheim, the second largest city in Orange County, and brought him and his campaign a $240,000 campaign fund!
"Even Adams! All you have is influence and connections! And America is the country of money, and the money my allies have is something that these old antiques dare not imagine!"
This is stable!!
To be continued...
